Who Is Responsible For Jfk Assassination

A monumental date in United States history, November 22, 1963, proved to be a day that would cause debate among generations. It was on that day that the thirty-fifth President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. It was a tragic event that stunned both the nation and many across the world. It was an event that has produced controversy among common people and experts alike. The main debate is who killed the President of the United States and there are countless theories suggesting many people were involved with the assassination of the President. However, the facts surrounding this tragic event support Oswald committed this act alone. For instance, if Oswald was supposed to be part of a conspiracy with the sole purpose to assassinate the President of the United States and his role was to take the shot, the conspirators would have provided him with a state-of-the-art gun instead of the inexpensive World War II vintage mail-order gun that was actually used. On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald.

In the days before President Kennedy was scheduled to arrive in Dallas, several newspapers described the route of the presidential motorcade as passing the Book Depository.

After reading the newspaper and studying this route; Oswald returned to Dallas the next morning leaving behind $170 and his wedding ring, but he carried a paper bag with him (Who Really Killed Kennedy?). It was reported that Oswald told people the bag contained curtain rods. Days later, the evidence demonstrated that the package actually contained the rifle used by Oswald in the assassination which was a six and one half millimeter Mannlicher-Carcano rifle. The bullets found afterwards in the vehicle as well as on the stretcher of Governor Connolly prove that the bullets came from this weapon, which was owned and was in Oswald

possession.
From the sixth floor of the warehouse window of the Texas Book Depository, Lee Harvey Oswald fired his rifle three times at the convertible limousine carrying President Kennedy. One of the bullets missed the President, but the other two found their mark, killing President Kennedy. One bullet pierced the President’s neck and then continued to travel until hitting John Connally, the governor of Texas, seated in front of Kennedy. This is known as the “The Single Bullet Theory”, which supports Oswald as the lone gunman because the one bullet shot from Oswald’s rifle hit both men. Also, the Warren Commission Report stated, “There is very persuasive evidence from the experts to indicate that the same bullet which pierced the President’s throat also caused Governor Connally’s wounds” (Mannlicher Rifle 8), proving the Single Bullet Theory to be true. The other bullet fired from Oswald’s rifle proved to be lethal as it hit Kennedy’s head causing a gaping wound. No one else could have possibly been responsible for assassinating the young and popular president of the United States.
